Child Obesity

What are we doing to our children??, when you see 9 year old's obese it is frightening, processed food and a life style of playing games on the computer, this is not ideal in the least, I have been saying to people for years that this has to stop, children need to eat good food not this junk from the freezer, there is no excuse for parents, they  have had their children now it is time to look after them, I am so busy is just not an answer, coming home from work and dipping into the freezer, going for a big mac is and can't be an option, yes as a special outing may be but on a regular basis no way, obesity can and does mean that diabetes is a possible illness that just might strike, be a life time pain for your child, and as it is a progressive illness and a shortened life, do we really want our children to have this illness for LIFE or do we want them to adopt a healthy life style??, of course we do so the answer in my mind as I said better food and plenty of exercise, it is simple really.
